Theratogs

[pintsize]

New to mumsnet before signing up saw someone asking about theratogs - it was some time ago. Anyone out there using theratogs? What do you think? Has DD or DS accepted them? Were there any funding issues with the health authority?
Any info helpful.

what are theratogs pintsize?

and Welcome btw

I have two sons (8 (NT) and 2 (SN))

I hope you find mumsnet as useful as I have

It's a kind of suit, but not lycra, with "elastic bands" which are then pulled around legs/arms/body and are attached to the suit trying to so the job of ligaments/tendons/muscles which aren't doing their job on their own. It's the best way i can describe them but i guess not a brilliant description.

oops!

sounds interesting. Presumably they are to help with low muscle tone?

Our dd has high muscle tone (but I'm not too hot on the descriptions/diagnosis jargon). She has a toe-toe gait which means her knees also roll in so the idea with the theratogs would be to reduce this???
